This IES project, Scaling Targeted Reading Instruction (TRI) to Serve Students Impacted by COVID-19: Digital Implementation of an Effective Intervention, studies digital implementation and scaling of an evidence-based reading intervention.
Within the lab, this project connects intervention evaluation with cost, implementation, and scaling evidence for digital delivery of an evidence-based reading intervention.
